Uniqlo Cold Weather Gear

Japan may be infamous for its nearly nationwide obsession with labels, and it’s true that super-elite brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel are popular with everyone from high school girls to grandfathers. But after the Bubble Economy burst, Japan has been creating a slow and steady stream of reasonably priced brands with a minimalist aesthetic.

At the forefront of these pioneers is Uniqlo. It’s the type of store you can always depend on for wardrobe basics like T-shirts and jeans, but you can also find edgy and trendy items for every season. The flagship New York City store is Uniqlo’s first attempt to conquer North America.

Now that winter is here, snuggle up in some of these warm Uniqlo cold weather items to stay toasty, no matter how low the temperature drops.

Off-white cashmere V-neck

Cashmere is often thought of as a luxury item, but Uniqlo offers cashmere that anyone can afford. This temptingly snuggle-worthy sweater is a perfect layer to add a touch of class to your winter wardrobe. Despite its sophisticated image, this cashmere V-neck is so versatile you can wear it with just about anything else in your closet. Just don’t let your girlfriend steal it...

Down gilet vest

Uniqlo clothing is all about practical layers that will take you through all sorts of weather and situations. This neutral-toned down vest is an ideal item for winter, and something you can feel confident wearing all the way through to spring. Pair it with a hoodie for a casual urban look, or with a sleek sweater for a slightly swankier silhouette.
